As per VIZ Media, the manga's licensee, the synopsis of the series reads:

"Kuroko Tetsuya doesn’t stand out much. In fact, he’s so plain that people hardly ever notice when he’s around. Though he’s just as unremarkable on the basketball court, that’s where his plainness gives him an unexpected edge – one that lets him execute awesome moves without others noticing!"

It further continues:

"And now that he’s a high school student, he’s on a mission to defeat each member of his legendary middle school team, known as the Miracle Generation."
